There was not a single trial in a personal injury or wrongful death case in Dickson County, Tennessee in the year ended June 30, 2012. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Dozens of Tennessee counties had no personal injury or wrongful death trials during the same period, and others had one or two trials. Even the second largest county, Davidson, had only 69 trials (47 of them jury trials) that year. Shelby County had only 79 (47 of them jury trials).

Of course, there are people who are hurt in Dickson County, Tennessee car accidents and other incidents, but many of those cases are settled before suit is filed and still others are settled after a lawsuit is filed but before a trial.
